Our story began in 1970, when my grandfather, Frank Pain, founded the company in the heart of Leicestershire – long known as the sock manufacturing capital of the UK. Frank was a pioneer in the hosiery industry, creating high-quality socks and tights with a dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.

Built on Partnerships
Since 2008, while our UK manufacturing has ceased, we’ve built a strong global network of ethically-driven, technically advanced partners. These partnerships allow us to design and produce a wide range of premium socks and tights without compromising our values.
At Jemsox, sustainability is at the core of what we do. We proudly use eco-friendly materials such as carbon-zero lyocell, organic cotton, and upcycled yarns—offering products that are not only comfortable and durable, but kind to the planet.

Built on Heritage
When you choose Jemsox, you’re investing in more than just socks. You’re supporting over 50 years of heritage, cutting-edge design, vibrant style, and a genuine commitment to sustainable fashion.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
Warm regards,
Ben Pain
